Tahini and Turmeric: 101 Middle Eastern Classics -- Made Irresistibly Vegan

This cookbook is the absolute best! If you love food that is absolutely delicious and easy to prepare, no need to spend precious time looking online for delectable, mouthwatering recipes. Each recipe that I’ve tried is pure bliss for the palate! The recipes begin with a fun short story and some include bonus time-saving tips. Other recipes suggest pairing with some of their other recipes. Many offer options to adjust to personal preferences. I’ve easily found any new spices at the local supermarket as well. Prepare yourself; these are tantalizing and satisfying meals. The combination of spices adds depth and flavor to each dish. I’ve scoured other so-called Mediterranean style cookbooks, yet this is the only one that hits the mark for me. If you’ve been cooking for years or simply desire to try new combinations, this may be the cookbook for you! Delicious wholesome food! I started with the chickpea and pepper shakshuka dish. It was so delicious that I found myself eating and savoring every bite with my eyes closed! Then, the flavorful overnight oats with cardamom and pistachios. The zucchini fritters with cucumber yogurt sauce were also over the top sumptuous as well as the spicy avocado toast with dukkah (prepare in a snap and add it to almost anything for crunch and extra protein). I’m a fan of the wild rice mjadra with extra sautéed onions and quinoa harissa meatless meatballs. Love the grape leaves with figs and apricots too! Their numerous basic homemade condiments and sauces are super simple, versatile and each adds a depth of flavor unparalleled by anything store bought. Since acquiring this cookbook, it is now my go to source as I work my way through all of its offerings every week. I am so thankful that the authors, sisters, have shared their knowledge and love of food. Thank you so much!!

This cookbook is gorgeoussss in every way! Exotic and unique recipes made from ingredients found across different lands which make the food so wonderfully tasty! I enjoyed reading the personal story of how these two sister authors came to create these middle eastern, vegan classics. The photos are beautiful and entice me to want to try each recipe. Logistically speaking, also, I find the writing organized, clear, and easy to follow. The book size is perfect for easy handling and use. Mostly, iI have already followed three recipes and I made amazing and delicious food! I ordered two books originally, one for my daughter and one for myself. I just ordered two more for friends, as I know that this cookbook will make a wonderful gift!

Beautifully put together with some knock out recipes!

I just made the zucchini patties with cucumber sauce recently and a friend asked for the recipe :) Unique flavors to be enjoyed.

High quality, very well made cook book -- from Da Capo Lifelong Books. I will keep that name in mind! The book is specifically made to be used in a kitchen environment and will outlive me! I like everything about this book. I'll be adding some new to me ingredients to my pantry -- that's for certain! I'm not even close to being vegan but felt intrigued by some of the many reviews -- I'm very glad that I chose to make the purchase! I'm not planning on going vegan either but am quite certain that I'm going to try out just about every recipe in the book! I love the photography, the layout, the back stories, the tips, the suggestions, the helpful list of ingredients and from where they can all be sourced -- no, I love everything about this cook book! Most well done!!

Very happy with the purchase. Book contains items for a Middle Eastern pantry and shopping list, very helpful. Recipes have yummy images. Portions are 4-6, ideal for families. Recipes are vegan. There are also a bunch of tips throughout the book. Well done! The two sisters, authors, have a food blog and are on Instagram with more recipes.

I bought this cookbook as a gift and they were over the moon. They have made almost every single recipe in the book. It is healthy, easy to follow recipes and so tasty also. What a great addition to a cooks collection.

I have enjoyed this cook book a lot! Most of the recipes have been so delicious! And the ones I haven't loved have still been quite good. It has taught me about some new flavours and seasonings. It feels like being trained in a middle Eastern family kitchen. The book is also very beautiful with fantastic pictures!
